Can anyone suggest an identification?


Can't help there - sorry.

But at the side of a nearby country lane we see very early snowdrops each
year :-

Photo taken on 10th December this year.

Obviously not normal snowdrops - perhaps planted by someone ? Just one
clump of them - no more.

Lovely picture, Hugh. They may very well be Elwesii types. I know there
are other broad leaf snowdrops but I can't imagine anyone planting really
special (aka 'expensive') snowdrops in a common verge.
